At 8:02 a.m. on Jan. 8, Burnaby firefighters answered a historic call

They were called to 8888 University Blvd. to rescue someone stuck in an elevator

What made the call historic was that the crew that responded came from atop Burnaby Mountain, which has never had a fire hall before

A temporary fire station opened in office space at 9055 University High Street on Jan 8 as a placeholder until a permanent Fire Station 8 is built nearby on University Drive, and crews are now responding to calls on top of the mountain and the surrounding area
